Killer Fifi makes an appearance

Working on Zombie Betty has been interesting.
After much thought, Betty decided she wanted a friend. It's tough being a Zombie and no one seems to understand.
Her life as a Rockabilly girl has changed dramatically and being on the road as a singer has made her lonely.
So her buddy, her pal... her poodle Fifi has come along for the tour. After a few days with Betty and her changed band, poor Fifi isn't quite the same dog.
Killer Fifi as the show stopping poodle is now known, a good friend for poor Betty and the rest of her band.

I had a lot of fun creating Killer Fifi for Betty. She is sculpted out of polymer clay over armature, painted then embellished with crocheted funfur yarn for the poodle poofs, peyote stitched beaded collar and spiral rope beaded leash.
I completely forgot to get photos of the journal, but it includes some photos of her new zombie love interest and zombie friends.

The Players

We are a group of artists from all over the country and even across the pond, who share a love of art dolls. We have come together to work on a Wandering Art Doll project.

Each doll will travel to all the artists receiving embellishment and finishing before returning home. They will keep an art journal of their wanderings and would love to share their experiences with you!
